This crunchy and fresh salsa combines fragrant rosemary, crunchy almonds, and sweet and tart apples. This dish is easy to prepare and the unusual flavor combinations make it perfect for a dinner party.

Ingredients

1 cup green apple, chopped

1 cup red apple, chopped

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

2 teaspoons rosemary, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper

8 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops

1 tablespoon canola oil

How to Make It

In a medium-sized bowl, combine apples, onion, almonds, vinegar, rosemary, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, nonstick pan over medium high. Add pork and cook without moving for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove from the pan and top with reserved Apple-Almond Salsa. Serve.

To toast whole, slivered, chopped or sliced almonds: Place in a single layer in a dry skillet, and turn heat to medium. Toast, stirring occasionally, until almonds are fragrant (2-5 minutes depending on the form of almonds you are toasting). If the almonds are blanched, let them turn golden brown; if they have skins, let their skins just begin to crackle.
